Chapter 38 The opening of the mountain
Juma City, the last pass to guard the ancestral land of the Tuoba clan, once the Juma City is broken, the Tuoba clan will no longer have any other fate, only the dead clan.
The distance between the two armies was only thirty miles, one side was 400,000 Wolf Court soldiers, and the other side was 200,000 Li Iron Cavalry, the difference in numbers was huge, and the war should have ended early.
It's just that there are many people who don't have the same heart, and who of the three second ancestors is willing to hand over all their troops to others to command.
Seamless cooperation is easier said than done.
Moreover, the grain and grass of the 400,000 army is not a small number after all, and how long can the barren wolf court last up?
Li Renjie took a fancy to this point and ordered the army to hold on to the attack, lay city defenses on the front line, and build high city barriers; and ordered the logistics troops to quickly build military supply belts, wantonly land fields, and encircle the plains for grazing, so as to make all preparations for a protracted war.
It was the end of spring, and as long as it was properly operated, a batch of grain and grass materials could be harvested for military use after two seasons, which was enough to survive the cold winter.
And winter is the weakest time for the wolf court, and the general trend has been decided.
Faced with this situation, the Wolf Court army, which had always been accustomed to quick decisive battles and guerrilla warfare, suddenly became at a loss.
At the same time, Helian Muxia died violently, the cause of death was too weird, and the haze of assassins against the second ancestor lingered, Yelu Langya and Wanyan Plunder all began to retreat, leaving Tuoba Xiu in vain anxious: "Li Renjie is determined to eat all the bones and skins of my Tuoba clan, and I have agreed to the benefits that should be given, but what is the purpose of you enjoying Qingfu here?"
Restless, Yelu Langya rubbed his eyebrows lightly and said, "Don't be impatient, if the Li Iron Cavalry is easy to fight, the three of us don't have to sit here and look for countermeasures." ”
The left and right concubines served delicious food and wine, and Wan Yan gently pushed it away, and said with a smile: "I thought it would be a merger of the two armies, a quick battle, but I never thought of fighting a tough battle, the Li family army is very powerful, and farming is also a strong point, which is really tricky." ”
Tuoba Xiu poured himself a drink: "Hmph, don't think I don't know, it's not the Li family army that is tricky, but those assassins hidden in the shadows, you are worried that you will also end up like Helian Muxia, so you are afraid." ”
Wan Yan sat up and asked, "Aren't you afraid? With Helian Muxia's ability, how could he die in the clan infighting, since this foreign assassin can kill him unconsciously, do you think we can be spared?
Yelu Langya said: "What he said is reasonable, even if there are no assassins, we can't compete with Li Renjie head-on, although Jizhou can't help him far from the rear, the realm gap is there, soldier to soldier, general to general, only wait for the clan elders and priests to come to get back the defeat, now it's nothing more than putting the army here to add to his worries, just buy some time for your Tuoba clan, wait a little longer." ”
It's a pity that the three of them didn't wait for the clan elders and priests they were waiting for, but waited for a piece of bad news.
